CHOKING VICTIM LYRICS

"Money"

[Spoken:]
The function, of, that police action,
Those interventions in Central America and the Middle East,
The function is system sustaining.
It is to maintain that overall system.
And you don't look at the particular cost.
I can demonstrate to you that every single bank robbery,
That in every single case practically,
the cost of the police was more then the actual money
that the robbers took from the bank.
Does that mean, oh you see?
There's really no economic interest involved in it.
They're not protecting the banks!
The police are just doing this because they're on a power trip,
or they're macho, or uh they're control freaks.
That's why they do it. No! Of course it's an economic,
of course they're defending the banks.
Of course, because if they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost,
This could jeopardize the entire banking system.
You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime.
And that's not true, the function of the police is social control,
and protection of property.

AHHH!

I am sick and tired and my money's always spent,
And though their jobs are killing me, their money pays my rent.
The fuel of world hate, although it's just a seed,
But when it grows and flowers, it becomes the world's greed!

Money for the rich, money for the fed,
God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!
And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,
'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!

I don't care for money, and money's not for me,
The money fueled this empire and our racist history.
Although I'm forced to use it, the rules have all been set.
But life is not worth living when yer soul is in debt!

Money for the rich, money for the fed,
God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!
And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,
'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!
Never quite the same!

AHHH!

MONEY KILLS!
MONEY RAPES!
MONEY LIES!
MONEY HATES!
